And the Lord told him, “Yes, go after them. You will surely recover everything that was taken from you!” 1 Samuel 30:8 (NLT)
If you are facing an impossible situation, remember that God can do what you cannot. In 1 Samuel 30, David faced an impossible situation. Upon returning to camp, he and his men discovered that an enemy army had taken their wives and children captive.
Although David was unbelievably distraught, he listened when God told him to pursue the enemy. As he and his 600 men set off, David stopped to take pity on a man who was dying of hunger and thirst. He had no idea that this amazing ‘coincidence’ would be the key to victory. The abandoned man, a slave to one of the enemy army’s soldiers, agreed to lead David right to the enemy army’s camp!
This one ‘chance’ meeting that God orchestrated took care of half the battle but David’s small army still needed to win the fight. Again, God made the impossible possible. David and his men not only recovered their families but also gained much more, carrying away immense wealth that their enemy had plundered on their travels!
No matter what your situation, you can relax in the knowledge that God will make the impossible possible. David was kind to someone in need; God led Him to someone who was the key to his victory. David fought bravely; God secured his victory despite impossible odds.
You only need to do what you can and stay in faith; God will take care of the rest.
